Time Flies

Hello Everyone! I hope this finds you all doing well!! It's been a little crazy here. I really really need to learn to update my blog more often like most of the ladies I know, but they have some spectacular items everyday. Well practice make perfect right? Here are some of the things I've completed.

The first is my version of the purse box by Mel Stampz click here for here website it's amazing the items and knowledge she shares!






I am not too happy with how the suitcase turned out.. Penny Duncan made me a beautiful file to cut on my cricut and I did not do it justice. I had an idea in my head and will try again to see if I get the results I want. In the meantime I'll show you the one I did do. If you want the most amazing files created for the cricut you most def. want to stop at Penny Duncan Creations. She will also convert her files for a small fee so you can cut them on other machines! Amazing gal she is I just love her.





I have been having fun with my cricut lately. I don't know if it's because my ex mother in law just bought one and has had lots of questions or if I finally have found my groove but it's been a blast.. Here are a few cards I made with links to the files if you would like to download them.

The following card is for a challenge for a girl named Paige I can't tell you where I got any of the files other then the border is from Paulo and you can find his art here.




Paulo also created the file for this card, every element is his.. Click here for the files. I am not a Halloween fan but Paulo's file was so amazing I had to try it and I love how it cut and turned out..



My last card is for a Harvest Blessings swap on a yahoo group I am a part of with Penny Duncan called ArtHeavenCreations_Friendships. You can click here if you would like to join us it's a blast, and we are a chatty group.




I do need to take more pictures, right now in progress are a cat card for a lottery I am in, a baby card, a couple of thank you cards, and I have a whole list of to do items.

Thanks for stopping by to look! Wishing you all abundant blessings,

Tami

Great Escape Meme
1. If you could escape to anywhere in the world where would it be? I know a lot of gals are going to say they would lock them selves in their Scrap Room. That is my second favorite place to escape. I would go to the beach, anywhere I don't care where.. I love watching the water as it rolls onto the beach and listening to the waves roll in and out. It's my happy place.
2. What song do you play when you are by yourself in the car? Ohhh for some odd strange reason this is the song I always play "I'm a B****, I'm a Lover" by Meredith Brooks. I just love the beat...
3. If you had a night to yourself, and money was no object, what would you do?
4. What is your guilty pleasure?
5. What is the farthest place you have traveled away from your home? Paris, France.
6. Last book that you couldn't put down? Og Mandino's "The Greatest Salesman
7. When you want to escape into another time, what movie do you watch? Not a big movie fan! I read a lot. I'll read "Reminisce" magazine too.
8. What is your favorite local escape? My Best Friends Julie's House..
9. How do you escape on a budget? Hmmm Not sure I don't get to escape. No traveling much here.
Best food you've ever had while on vacation. I know it's Cheesy but last Nov. I got to go to Sonic for the first time and Oh my goodness the bacon cheeseburgers were so delicious. I'd go back to Iowa just for more of those lol..


Good luck all

Wishing you abundant blessings,

Here we go. A look at my Creating Cave.

So I thought I would jump on the bandwagon since all of my friends over at Art Heavens Creations Friendship are showing us where they go to create I'm gonna jump right in and share mine too..

*****Just be warned***** I am ADHD, so my room is chaos and I no matter how hard I try or new creative storage idea I come up with it just seems to always look like this. Someday I'll get my hubby to build me one of those nice cabinets so I can hide my mess.. lol..

Here is a picture of my room from the door..



This is the place I sit down to do all of my crafting. I used to sit on the floor even though I have plenty of table space it seems to be where I do my best work. This is an old coffee table we used to have in our old house. I put the piece of fabric over it because stored under it are my paints, metal embellishments, a box of printed templates and a few other baskets of goodies.



This shelf is used for storing all of my scrapbooks, most of them empty. Idea books I do not use very often, paint chips, mosaic tiles, scrap pads, watercolor sets, scissors, etc.



This is my desk. I spend most of my time right in the chair on the computer lol.. Need to figure out how to get some crafting done. The iris cart under it is all of my embossing powders, then my printer station, rubber stamps, I have other misc. items stored underneath also stationary, ink pink collection, books. I love to read.



Then of course I had to get a close up of my most favorite stamps. I keep the rest in the dresser.



This is the start of the other side of my desk. Glues, etc. Misc tools and supplies.



Yahoo, my favorite part. My Cricut..



This cart is full of stickers, don't know why I have so many I don't use them.




12 X 12 Paper, ribbons, pens, and a tackle box full of eyelets.



My Sizzix station, templates, basket of wire, and some misc.



Fibers and unwrapped ribbon.



This dresser is full of rubber stamps, most of them I've never used. Hmmmm



Ok last one, more 12 X 12 paper storage I'm running outta room lol..



Alright I'm so sorry if this has too many graphics. I'm not the best picture taker lol..

Thanks for stopping by and I wish you all abundant blessings,

Tami
